    Promising review: "Good quality and lightweight. Design makes it very easy to carry, I find it easier than the average cooler. The handle is nice and high and wide so the rest of it is not bumping up against your leg. And once you lift up the lid which turns into a table it's sturdy enough to actually use for setting drinks on without worry. Exceeded expectations." —April Ford

    Promising review: "The adults in this house love water balloons but not the mess….. plus with toddlers around, it didn’t quite make sense to have water balloons but we saw a random video on TikTok and HAD to find reusable water balloons to try out. These were the first ones we bought to try out, and WHOA we were blown away! Super easy to for the 2- and 3-year-old to use, which means more fun for all of us!!

    Promising reviews: "Life changing! I heard about these shoes on TikTok from someone who really hyped them up. I have had really bad back pain over the years. I'm in my kitchen a lot and it would kill my back. After I heard how soft these were, I order a pair in black and I live in them! No more back pain standing in my kitchen for hours baking. They are so comfortable very lightweight and I keep telling everyone about them. I can't wait to order some more in different colors." —britney

    Reviewers also *swear* by these for keeping sand and dirt off the rim at picnics or the beach! 

    Check it out on TikTok here!

    Promising review: "Biggest thing since sliced bread. Do you hate it when you when can’t finish your soda or maybe don’t have time? If you're driving somewhere it’s difficult to handle a can drink sometimes, you’re trying to take a sip and all a sudden you hit a pot hole. Soda up your nose, down your chin, on your clothes. It doesn’t have to be that way anymore — with these you can enjoy you soda just like it was in a bottle. I was skeptical at first, but sold as soon as I put it on the can. I use it every day." —Jonesy

Instant chair and cheat code to relaxation all summer long. 

    Reviewer hanging out in green blown up lounger on the beach
    A model holding the lounger in a small bag when the air is let out

    It only weighs 2 pounds and fits neatly into a bag when you let the air back out of it, and once it's inflated, it has a head rest and a side pocket for stashing things like glasses and your phone. Perhaps most importantly for larger fams — it comes in a *ton* of different colors, so everyone will always know which one is "theirs."

    Check it out on TikTok here!

    Promising review: "Super easy to use and sooo comfy. Lightweight, sand doesn't stick and you can float in the water. They can fly away so attach to something if it's windy. Best beach 'chairs' by far due to comfort and easy of packing." —Julie W. 

    Get it from Amazon for $33.98 (available in 16 colors).

    13. A waterproof pouch that'll keep your phone and other important "can never touch water" items safe, sound, and dry. The best part? You can still use your phone's touchscreen while it's inside the pouch! Underwater photoshoot, anyone?

    The pouch is 8.3 inches and can fit iPhone 14 Pro Max, Galaxy S22, and more — with their case on! It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options).

    Promising review: "I used it for an entire Jamaica trip. It survived multiple snorkeling adventures and I got really great quality videos and pics underwater. There was no leaking. My dad noticed that his phone overheated one time while he had it around his neck during midday. I’d suggest keeping it out of direct Sunlight! They are really sturdy. I can use it again for future trips." —Goldf1sh

    14. A cool tool called the "Bug Bite Thing" used to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness caused from all kinds of bug bites. A real must have if you're livin' life outdoors this summer!

    This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more.

    Promising review: "I discovered this item on TikTok and found it to be quite interesting. I was skeptical to purchase at first but decided to give it a try since my kid’s bug bites swell and are incredibly itchy. I’m amazed at how well it works. Tried it the other night on my daughter’s mosquito bite, and it provided immediate relief. The swelling around the bite went down and itching stopped after a minute or two. It’s easy to use. It does leave a round imprint on the skin but disappears after a couple of minutes. My 9-year-old daughter uses it on her own bug bites. I have recommended this to family and friends who are considering purchasing the product. Love it!" —Garima Chauhan

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in four colors and two-packs).

    15. And a pack of reusable mosquito repellent bracelets if you want to take some preventative measures. The blend of lemongrass and citronella oils (known insect repellents) will help keep those pesky critters away from you and your summer fun.

    Promising review: "I love these. They really work. I use them while I'm out with the dogs or in the garden. I put one on my ankle and one around my ponytail. My uncle uses them while he's working on the lawn. He said they work just as well as the spray." —Christina Castillo

    16. high ponytail running cap with UPF 50 protection so you can keep the perfect pony and still have the sun protection you need. The convenient design of this hat (two separate openings in back) allows you to have either high or low ponytails/buns, too. Love!

    Promising review: "Love this hat so much! I already ordered another one in a different color for myself and one for a friend! I live in Texas near the Gulf and it’s summer — really humid and really hot. I walk 3 to 4 miles outside most days and I’d been wishing for a hat that allowed for a high ponytail so I could keep my hair off my neck to not get as hot/sweaty. Decided to Google it and found this and was thrilled! The X straps are easy to adjust and it fits great and is breathable. And it’s super cute!" —mlp06h

    Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29 (available in 24 colors).

    Promising review: "I ordered two, one for myself and one for my husband. I've got to say these are an absolutely amazing product. We live in Southwest Florida (it ALWAYS HOTT 🔥). So needless to say having a coolie that actually keeps our drinks COLD, is truly awesome! We absolutely LOVE them. Not only do they keep your drink very cold, they keep them cold for hours. I accidentally left my drink in the car (our very black car) on a day that was pushing just over 98°-not including the 'feels like' temp. When I got back to the car, about 1.5 hours later, drink was STILL VERY COLD! I was absolutely amazed! There isn't ever any condensation, it feels sturdy in your hand, not 'slippery,' and it it not bulky or awkward! Those are just a few of the reasons why I am ordering several more. If you're on the fence, BUY them. They pay for themselves over and over again!" —Kara Ohlsen

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 27 colors).

    18. A super cool color-changing outdoor umbrella light you can easily attach to the pole of the umbrella you already own! It's remote-controlled, has a timer setting, and can flash, strobe, fade, or stick to one color. Trust me, summer evening parties are going to be way more ~lit~ with this.

    Promising review: "I took a chance on this item and it was well worth the money... It fit the umbrella pole like it said, it lights up like it said, the different colors awesome [and it] definitely sets the mood while you sit under umbrella. I love that it has many choices of color…I’m very happy!" —Rory walsh

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in white and brown).

    19. And an attachable beach umbrella table perfect for those public lounge chairs with no tables nearby (like...why is that a thing?). You can also clamp this to your own umbrellas in the backyard or at the beach because it's so dang portable and convenient. Keep your snacks, drinks, and electronics off the ground — it can handle it all! 

    Check out a TikTok of the beach umbrella table in action. 

    Promising review: "This worked great for our beach trip! It was nice to be able to have everything out of the sand. We had placed it up at the top by the umbrella and down low so we could reach it while on our chairs. I’d definitely recommend this." —TJ

    Get it from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in four colors). 

    20. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers because FYI: one application does *not* keep you safe for the entire day! These clever stickers tell you when it's time reapply your sunscreen in order to prevent sunburn. They're waterproof and last up to 12 hours, too!

    Reviewer with purple sticker on their arm
    The sticker turned clear

    Sooo...how does it work? It's simple: if the sticker is clear, you're in the clear (aka, your sunscreen is working). As soon as the sticker turns purple, it's time to reapply. Then after you do, it will turn back to clear.

    Check out a TikTok of the sunscreen stickers in action. 

    Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree zero clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot, so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all this is one of the best inventions!" —Catherine Shock

    Get two packs from Amazon for $25.99

    21. A soft-serve dessert maker — I mean, what else would you want to eat on a warm summer day? This can ~easily~ turn your favorite fruits into a creamy, sorbet treat. It's perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, because it'll curve your craving without much effort.

    Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friends house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems [hard]. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

    22. A large but SUPER compact water-proof picnic blanket that can work as a sand-free beach blanket as well. It repels all the dirty stuff so that you can chillax with zero worries. It's also easy to clean, extremely packable, and is pretty cute, too!

    Promising review: "Blanket is so soft and cool to touch. Perfect for picnics at the park or for relaxing at the beach. I love that it’s super lightweight and it’s easy to fold and go. It’s super sleek so just a quick shake and grass comes right off. I could also use this blanket to protect against the elements if you are outside for long periods. It packs up small enough that you can put it in a purse! I dropped food and drinks on it and washed them right out. I think It has more use than just laying on the ground." —Yuna Cho

    Get it from Amazon for $27+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

    23. A pair of platform sandals to give you some extra height without the tiresome wearing-heels-all-day feeling. This time around we're wearing outfits with these cuties, and not just our standard flip-flops.

    Promising reviews: "I went back and forth about getting this Kindle for a couple months. I had heard great things about it from people on TikTok... and guys, I am in love with it! It’s everything I want and need with an e-reader. I also subscribed to Kindle Unlimited and have read 15 books in less than a month since I got it for my birthday. I basically read a new book every two days, which could definitely add up if I wasn’t subscribed to Kindle Unlimited. If you want to read more and enjoy reading, I can’t recommend this Kindle enough. Don’t hesitate, buy it!!" —Erin Bryars

    Promising review: "This pool is the bee's knees. 😍 TikTok made me buy it and I’m not made about it." —Bridget Luna

    "I was looking for a pool that the whole family could fit in at once on a hot day. This is perfect. My husband is 6'1" and can completely lay down in it. The seats are nice [and] I really like the 'tile' pattern, it gives it the feeling of a in-ground pool without the cost and maintenance! It took about 15 minutes to inflate with an electric pump and 30 minutes to fill to the full line. I did put down a tarp, mainly to keep the pool clean on the bottom, but it seems like it is very durable. This is exactly what I was looking for in an inflatable pool!" —Spazkatt

    Promising review: "I’m an absolute sucker for slushies. Why? Heck if I know. I saw this cup on TikTok, and bought it though I was very skeptical. However, it works!! I’ve made at least a dozen already, if not more." —C. Warrick

    Promising review: "I have been using this chilling bowl for fruit and other types of salads to keep food cold while serving in warm weather. It has worked perfectly following the instructions for use. It is very durable, does not collect fingerprints, get sticky or lose its chill for hours. Cleaning this bowl is easy and it doesn't scratch, or collect smells. My neighbor uses a similar bowl she paid $75 for at a retail store, this one looks and performs as good as hers. So I like it very much and recommend it." —R Geller

    Promising review: "I saw this on a TikTok video and checked on Amazon and ordered it. My toy poodle loves it and drank out of it with no hesitation. With the heat wave we are having in California right now I want to be sure she is well hydrated. Before I leave the house I fill the holder with ice and water, and I am set. Easy to clean and no spilled water in the car. Easy to throw in my purse and have it when we are out walking around. I know what people with dogs are getting for Christmas this year." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I’ve always been kind of sick. I throw up on long car rides, I can’t read in the car, I get horrible migraines 24/7, etc. Recently I changed medications and because of that, my migraines came back with a vengeance. Thinking there was nothing I could do I kind of gave up, until, I was looking at BuzzFeed and saw this in their recommended. I thought it could help with any car sickness that I would get but man I was not giving these enough credit! Since I have bought them I where ALL.THE.TIME. I wear them in and out of the car, to bed, and just around the house. I no longer feel nauseous and my migraines are almost non existent. Whoever invented these are a freaking god! I don’t know think I could ever live without these! BUY THESE!! They're so worth it." —JohnDz

    Promising review: "I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok... and boy am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet.. and let’s be honest the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) .. but oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use) ... two weeks later, BOOM baby soft feet...10/10 would recommend!! " —Alma Elias

    Promising review: "Obsessed with these. Best stickies I’ve ever had. I saw them on TikTok and tried them out, so glad I did." —satisfied customer

    BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown says: "Thanks to a ~sample sale~, I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely could not wear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties, because quite frankly I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are 100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable.

    I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5-stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!"

    40. Revlon's Volcanic Face Roller to absorb shine in seconds *without* messing up your makeup — how awesome is that? Simply roll it over any oily or greasy areas of your face and watch it work its magic. A summertime purse esential!

    The face roller is reusable! Just twist the ring to pop out the stone, then wash it with a mild soap/cleanser and let it air dry after every use.

    Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was back ordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable which helps you save money and be less wasteful...After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pickup everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.

    Promising review: "Best buy EVER. Saw this on TikTok and had my husband get it for me. This machine is AWESOME and I will definitively say it’s worth it! Your personal bar tender!" —Jessica

    BuzzFeed writer Hannah Loewentheil owns the Bartersian and LOVES it: "When I first caught wind of the Bartesian premium cocktail machine ($349.99 on Amazon), my first thought was does anyone actually need this gadget? But after trying it for myself, I can say the answer is a firm YES, and here's why. I love making cocktails at home, and while I'm no bartender, I feel very comfortable shaking a spicy margarita, stirring a negroni, or whipping up a Pisco sour. But making craft cocktails at home requires many (often expensive) ingredients, bar tools, time and effort. With the Bartesian though, you can make fancy drinks with the click of a button — literally. Once you turn the Bartesian on, it prompts you to insert a cocktail capsule. The smart gadget recognizes the cocktail you're trying to make and will ensure you've placed the proper spirit in the bottle (I know, it's mind-blowing). Next, it prompts you to choose your cocktail strength (there's even a mocktail option), and to place a glass with ice underneath the spout. Next, the Bartesian will start pouring your craft cocktail. The whole process takes about 20 seconds and it's all very exciting. With many bars closed and people quarantining or feeling hesitant about going out to eat, this gadget allows you to make professional-quality cocktails at home."

    43. A set of cooling towels that get ~instantly~ chilly when put in water and then wrung out. Runners and gym-goers in the reviews say this is an absolute must have when you're ready to cool down, but everyone could use one of these in the summer!

    Promising review: "It gets to be over 100 degrees in the summer where I live. These come in handy when working in the yard, at the beach or even at the county fair when it's super hot. What a relief these are to use when the weather is hot. I've purchased these many times because I always seem to give them out especially to those that work outside in the heat (mail carrier, pool guy, landscaper...) and they are always very appreciative." —Realfoodmama
